Not mine, I'm afraid, but adorable just the same. Ziggy likes eating carrots, running around like an idiot and chewing furniture. HSS everybody!
Widespread and abundant in cities, neighborhoods and farms. Avoids dense woods. Flocks cluster in dense bushes, bustling around and chattering to one another. Males have smart black bibs, bright rufous napes, and stunningly patterned wings with brilliant buffs and browns. Underparts are pale pearly-gray. Females are plain brown with cute face and lighter eyebrow. Native to Eurasia; introduced to much of the rest of the world. (eBird)

There was quite a thick hedge of this pretty shrub all along the pathway. It attracted all manner of insects, hummingbirds and other small birds.

The Damrak houses first introduced me to the Dutch word gezellig (meaning cozy or homely) I was always wandering in from the train station after dark and I would constantly stop and stare at these houses thinking it felt like an incandescent oasis in a city of fluorescents, warming the night and the Damrak with its soft glow.
When you walk by during the day usually things are shut tight against the throngs of tourists walking back and forth from the central station but at night when the crowds have dissipated the curtains open and the world seems to be welcome to become a witness to the nocturnal activities of the residents.
The Damrak historically was originally part of the Amstel river below the Dam that gave Amsterdam its name, Rak means a straight stretch or place to gain speed, so the Damrak was actually the straight piece of river below the Dam across the Amstel where sailors would pick up some speed on their home stretch to the port of Amsterdam.

This sweet girl is one of six baby red squirrels frolicking all over the front yard for the past few weeks. There will be more but this group is the first. Three out of the six have distinct white streaks and this girl is pure blonde with just hints of red. I have never seen one like her before in my life. I am wondering if the light grey male squirrel that has settled here since winter is the dad. I've been spending time with them all and they have become quite friendly. We shall see who stays and who goes once they get older.
Meet my stalker, Spike the Wood Pigeon. Unable to find a mate and rejected by his parents, Spike has taken a liking to me. He comes and sit next to me when I'm taking photo's in the garden. He waits at my backdoor each morning until I feed him, he won't let me stroke him but I have to be careful when I'm walking because he gets under my feet. I have to sit with him when he feeds, if I leave him he flies off leaving his food and won't come back until I return. He has a distinctive white spike on his white on his left side, hence the name.

This introduced species is now widespread across England and Wales, but has a somewhat patchy distribution in Scotland and is localised in Ireland.
Native to North America, the Canada Goose was first introduced to Britain in the 17th century. UK numbers have more than doubled since 1984, the result of predator-free nesting sites, good feeding opportunities and low hunting pressure.
While North American populations are highly migratory, those here are largely sedentary. However, many individuals make a significant moult migration to favoured sites, such as the Beauly Firth, where they complete their annual moult.
Introduced as a game species in Sierra Espuña Natural Park. Often very hard to find.

Sadly our sweet Paddy has passed away at 14 years old <3
We miss him greatly... until we meet again. <3
Our little Peppa now has a new sister Rosey to play with :)
Couple weeks ago we had to send off to doggie heaven our 13 year old schnauzer that had a stroke.
After a long search, Moose has joined the Krach household to bring some new joy ... and to keep our 10 year old schnoodle busy. Moose is a puppy schnauzer with lots of spunk ... and kisses too.
Captured here when we took Moose down to visit with my Dad on this lovely Autumn day in Maryland where Moose got to play with our dog, and my sister's dogs as well. While being tiny ... he played very well with them. Wore them all out quickly actually.
He seems to not be camera shy as well ... which is nice for me ;)

Our new puppy -an apricot standard poodle boy!
How hard is it do you think to get four people to agree on a name? The front runner at the moment is Harpo. He will have the same golden curls as the famous Harpo Marx.
George the cocky was quite interested in the pup and behaved reasonably well but as soon as the pup starts crying, George, not be outdone, does his monkey impersonation much louder, drowning out the howls of the pup. Then George throws in a bark or two. It’s all “look at me, Look at me.” Alfie the budgie looks on and wonders what all the fuss is about.
We have an interesting time ahead to try to socialise the puppy in the crucial next few weeks when it is the very thing we are unable to do. We have bought an App that plays all sorts of noises to expose him too and we have been encouraged to dressup and wigs, glasses and hats so he is exposed to different looks. We will take him in the car to look out the window and do what we can to help him understand the world is more than just our home and the four people in it.
Is it too soon to say I am in love?
Thewas introduced to Britain in 1933 when twelve were intentionally released at Walland marsh in Kent near Dungeness where they seem to have done very well .The marsh frog, however, is a voracious predator and all further inThe marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus) Dungeness RSPBtroductions are forbidden under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

A life bird at the time, whether you call it a Nutmeg Mannikin, a Scaly-Breasted Munia, or a Lonchura punctulate. Whatever it is, they're an introduced species and their range is expanding, there was one here in Yolo County last year.

I encountered this Cheetah family on the Mopani road not far from the Phalaborwa gate. I spent at least 20 minutes alone with them before the next homo sapiens arrived and had enough time to bond with the kids. The mother was a bit uninvolved and constantly looked the other way. She is the one in the background. I was selfish and parked my vehicle far away from the Cheetahs in such a way so that nobody could pass me and approach the animals to take photos with a mobile phone or the like and in the process chase them away. I really had a royal time. Haven't seen Cheetahs in three years.

Today it is three years ago that we lost sweet cat Lolita, and about 9 months ago that Grandma Leyla passed away. Last Weekend we decided that we don't want to be without cats any more.
So I may introduce you one of our new feline friends: This is Kuddel alias Hercules, and he moved to our home last sunday with his girlfriend Florentina to help us to overcome our grieving about my sweet little Tigerlily-Gang. No picture of Florentina, she is still too shy at the moment to be photographed. But this Prince Charming breaks every heart in minutes, and he'll help her to trust us too! The photo is not made by myself, the large cameras may be a bit too much for the first days. So Tom took it with his smartphone and gave it to me to upload it here.
Please respect Toms copyright. No use of the photo without his expressly permission.
And: I don't like Comment-Codes, "awards", or such groups. They will be deleted. Explanation at my profile. Also please don't post pictures in the commenting-area. You could post them much better in your own photo stream. Your own words will mean much more to me than a universal-text. ;-D
Back in time again to.... August 2015 when visiting the Isle of Man.
Pictured here is Tramcar No 21 - one of the 'Oldest Tram Cars in the World' built in 1899 and still regularly used on the Manx Electric Railway (MER) which was built between 1893 and 1899 and connects the Island's Capital Douglas with Laxey in the East and Ramsey in the North.
This early morning image was taken at Onchan near Douglas during an 'Inside Track' Private Photo Charter before the service trains began and en route initially to Laxey. We spent the day using this splendid vehicle travelling the whole rail system.
It's acknowledged the MER is the longest narrow gauge vintage electric railway system in the British Isles and still uses its original Victorian and Edwardian Rolling Stock.
In June large purple fields of Alaskan lupine (Lupinus nootkatensis) are a common sight all over Iceland. This plant looks native but in fact it was introduced in Iceland in 1945 to prevent erosion of the soil.
